Some interesting facts about Jobs, how he was, how he got to where he did.

AND one thing that the MAC fans will hate - How Microsoft ( Bill Gates) actually rescued Apple from going broke / bankrupt 90 days before closing.

All that aside its quite interesting.

Some do, mention Microsoft / Windows to some MAC users and you'd think you were attacking them personally.


Re the biography - did start but didn't finish, may do one day.

@ Gary:
The title of this thread is what the program is called on TV.

The program's quite interesting though.

1295684 2012-08-20 22:05:00 Well he certainly did change the world, no two ways about it.

Read his biography, very interesting fellow indeed!

1295685 2012-08-21 01:37:00 I'm a windows guy....

But I do admire Apples (never used one) and Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

But there were other guys that thought of this stuff.

Xerox's parc - Space Oddesy - Maxwell Smart etc etc

And what about the two university maths guys that invented the computer spreadsheet - Visicalc,

They made no money and are still university maths guys......

And yes Apple was nearly broke when Bill Gates got them to do Office for the Mac.

But it has reversed now, due to the fact that Apple are great marketers able to sell crappy Itunes files and cool looking phones and mp3 players and tablets.

Jobs took the things to market.

You can invent what you like but you must convince the world they need it.
